This position is in-office in NYC, 5 days a week

The Chief of Staff to the CEO is a high-trust, high-impact leadership role designed to increase the CEO's effectiveness and accelerate company growth. This role operates as an extension of the CEO, translating vision into execution, shaping decisions, aligning leaders, and ensuring the organization runs with clarity, discipline, and momentum.

This is not an administrative role. It is a strategic operator, integrator, and decision partner role for a leader who thrives at the intersection of strategy, execution and people in a health and wellness environment.

• Represent the CEO in internal discussions when appropriate and ensure decisions are communicated and executed. Facilitate and keep up with podcasts as needed.

• Build or refine SOPs, workflows, and accountability systems to support scale

2. Client Experience and Service Integrity

• Partner with clinical leaders, practitioners, and service teams to protect and elevate the client experience
• Monitor experience metrics including retention, engagement, utilization, referrals, and satisfaction
• Ensure new offerings and growth initiatives align with brand promise and care standards
• Support onboarding, quality standards, and continuous improvement for providers and care teams

3. People, Culture, and Leadership Support

• Reinforce a culture aligned with CEO's values including TRUST, care, excellence, and accountability
• Support leadership development, role clarity, and organizational design as the company grows
• Help the CEO address performance issues, decision bottlenecks, and leadership alignment challenges
• Act as a stabilizing presence during periods of growth, change, or ambiguity

4. Business Performance and Financial Awareness

• Track and synthesize key business metrics including revenue, membership growth, utilization, labor efficiency, and margins
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and performance reviews with insight and recommendations
• Identify operational or structural opportunities to improve profitability without compromising care quality

5. Special Projects and Strategic Initiatives

• Lead high-impact projects such as new service launches, partnerships, technology rollouts, or care model innovations
• Conduct market and competitive analysis to inform strategic decisions
• Step into ambiguous or high-priority initiatives that require executive-level ownership
